Question

Identify the attributes of the given shape.

• A. Cube; 6 flat surfaces, 8 vertices, 12 edges
• B. Cube; 12 flat surfaces, 8 vertices, 6 edges
• C. Cube; 12 flat surfaces, 6 vertices, 8 edges
• D. Cube; 8 flat surfaces, 6 vertices, 12 edges

Answer 1

The correct option is A Cube; 6 flat surfaces, 8 vertices, 12 edges

$\text{Say:}$Let’s read the question and observe the image.

$\text{Ask:}$
$\bullet$ What do we have to do here?
Ans: We have to identify the shape and the attributes of the given object.

$\bullet$ What attributes do you see here?
Ans: The shape has 6 flat square faces, 8 vertices, and 12 edges.

$\bullet$ So, what is the given shape?
Ans: The given shape is a cube.

$\bullet$ So, which option correctly names and describes the attributes of the given shape?
Ans: Option A

Hence, Option A is correct.

$\text{WB:}$If required, use the whiteboard to draw a cube and define its attributes as shown.
